Chapter 759: Is Minato Cheating?
Chapter 759: Is Minato Cheating?
"Moonlight, is there something going on? This guy, Minato, has been acting all mysterious on the way here, and he won't tell me why he's here either."
Nine Shinai approached Moonlight casually and asked.
Since Minato knew about Naruto Uzumaki's situation, it was easier to explain. Moonlight only told Minato about the parallel world.
Judging by the situation, it seemed like Minato wanted to give Nine Shinai a surprise, so he didn't explain the reason to her.
"Dad..."
Naruto instinctively called out upon seeing the sudden appearance of Minato and Nine Shinai, but he quickly closed his mouth.
These weren't his parents; there was another Naruto in this world, and these were that Naruto's parents.
The last time, he had mistaken Moonlight's world's Minato for his father because he didn't know the situation. Now that he understood the truth, he couldn't call him 'Dad' randomly.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be stealing the parents of his 'other self'?
"Dad?! Could it be..."
Nine Shinai looked at Minato in shock, then glanced at Naruto.
"This must be why Moonlight called us here. You should have guessed it by now."
Minato revealed a gentle smile.
Nine Shinai nodded.
Seeing this, Naruto couldn't help but smile.
This was the greatness of a mother's love; no matter what, she could recognize her child.
"An illegitimate child! It must be your secret child, Minato!"
Nine Shinai exclaimed angrily.
Minato: ...
Naruto: ...
"Wrong guess, sorry!"
Naruto quickly waved his hands.
If Moonlight's world's Minato and Nine Shinai ended up in a dispute or even divorced because of this, he would have ruined the life of his other self.
"It's impossible based on age as well."
Minato explained further.
"Look at you two, so tense. I was just joking."
Nine Shinai laughed heartily.
The blonde youth before them indeed carried a shadow of Minato, but he also had a resemblance to Nine Shinai.
As she looked at the blonde youth, Nine Shinai felt like she was seeing Naruto all grown up. Of course, she didn't think he was the result of Minato's affair.
"But what's going on here? Can someone explain it to me?"
Nine Shinai put her hands on her hips, her gaze shifting between Moonlight, Minato, and Naruto.
"I heard 'Oh Ne,' and this boy sounds just like Naruto when he grows up. What's going on here?"
Nine Shinai had a verbal tic; when she got excited or spoke too quickly, she would unconsciously say 'Oh Ne.'
The blonde youth not only resembled Minato but also shared traits with Nine Shinai. He even had a similar verbal tic, and there was a trace of the Nine-Tails' presence within him.
No matter how Nine Shinai thought about it, she felt that this blonde youth had a deep connection with Naruto.
"Mom... I mean, Sister Nine Shinai, I'm your child from another world."
Naruto took the initiative to explain.
"How can you be both a sister and a child?"
Nine Shinai couldn't help but tease.
"His name is Naruto Uzumaki, and he comes from another world. It's a world very similar to ours, with many ninjas who look and are named the same as us.
And he is the child of 'us' in the Ninja World."
Minato explained in detail.
"So there's such a thing?"
Nine Shinai was surprised.
Just now, she was wondering if the future Ninja World had invented a space-time ninjutsu that allowed time travel, and Naruto had used it to return to the past.
But the truth was even more unbelievable than she had imagined; there was even the existence of parallel worlds.
In a world she couldn't see, there was another her living her life.
"Can you tell me about the other me? What kind of person is she? Does she really look exactly like me? What's her personality..."
Nine Shinai was brimming with curiosity and asked several questions at once.
Minato's reaction left Nine Shinai puzzled, and she looked at him questioningly.
"Yes, exactly the same. I don't know much about Mom, but I think she's a beautiful, gentle, brave, and powerful female ninja!"
Unexpectedly, Naruto didn't show a disappointed expression but instead smiled brightly and praised Nine Shinai.
"Haha, that's exactly me."
Nine Shinai's heart blossomed with joy.
(End)
Naruto was praising the Kushina from his own world, but he also admitted that they were identical, which was essentially a compliment to her.
"Hehe."
Naruto scratched his head with a mischievous smile.
Before encountering Kushina's chakra, Naruto would have been speechless, and he wouldn't even have known what she looked like.
Kushina's chakra had told Naruto a lot, and now he had a clear understanding of his mother.
"Naruto, how are your studies and ninja training going? Do you have a girlfriend now?"
Kushina shifted her attention to Naruto's personal life.
Since the two worlds were extremely similar, theoretically, the current Naruto Uzumaki and the future Naruto Namikaze shouldn't have much difference.
"I guess my ninja techniques are passable, but my studies are a real struggle. I don't have a girlfriend yet, but there's someone I like."
Naruto answered honestly.
His ninja techniques were only lacking during his time at the Ninja Academy; as for various cultural theories, he still struggled with them.
"Huh, even this was inherited."
Kushina sighed; she wasn't good at theories either, and it seemed Naruto had inherited this from her rather than Minato Namikaze.
"Kushina-nee, don't worry. When 'Naruto' starts school, you can be strict with his studies, and his grades won't be as bad as mine."
Naruto reassured her.
However, despite Naruto's efforts to control his emotions, his voice couldn't help but carry a hint of melancholy.
Sometimes he wondered if things would have been different at the Ninja Academy if he hadn't been an orphan.
Naruto's words, combined with Minato's previous behavior, suddenly made Kushina feel that something was amiss.
"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It's not a big deal if your grades are poor."
Kushina's voice softened.
"Also, don't call me Kushina-nee; it feels strange. Even though I'm not your biological mother, I'm still Kushina, and I can be your stepmother."
"That doesn't seem right."
Naruto was a little tempted, but he still couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart.
"Your mother's name is Kushina, and I'm also Kushina. Why can't I be your mother?"
Kushina confidently walked up to Naruto and stared into his eyes.
"I believe Naruto won't mind having another outstanding brother."
"Mom..."
Kushina's sudden gentle tone made Naruto think of the mother he had seen in the consciousness space not long ago, and he couldn't help but call out.
"Good boy."
Kushina gently patted Naruto's head.
"Naruto, you must have just finished your training. It's already noon, so let's have some of Mom's cooking."
Kushina volunteered.
Her cooking might not be as tasty as Moonlight's, but it could let Naruto experience the 'mother's taste' he hadn't felt in a long time.
Naruto looked at Moonlight.
Moonlight had said they would leave for Naruto's world today.
"Of course, we should eat well before setting off; otherwise, we won't have the energy to fight."
Moonlight said.
"Yeah!"
Naruto's face lit up with anticipation.
Contrary to Kushina's expectations, Naruto hadn't experienced the 'mother's taste' in a long time; he didn't even know what it tasted like.
Kushina's chakra couldn't make a four-course meal in the consciousness space for Naruto to taste.
Due to the large number of people, Moonlight and Minato helped Kushina in the kitchen.
The others did their own things.
Jiraiya said he was going to gather materials and forcibly took Orochimaru with him.
Kakuzu wandered around Loulan, observing its development.
Naruto and the others sat in the living room, chatting and waiting for lunchtime.
"You must be careful of Uchiha Sasuke. He's an extremely evil and despicable guy."
Naruto reminded them with a serious expression.
"After Mom and Dad's chakra awakened, I learned that the Nine-Tails incident that led to their sacrifice was also Sasuke's conspiracy. He personally released the Nine-Tails."
"So that's what happened. No wonder we didn't find any enemies when we were guarding. The one who would attack is Sasuke."
Obito's expression turned to sudden realization, as he recalled that they hadn't detected any enemies on the night Kushina gave birth.
In their world, Sasuke had already been killed by Moonlight, so the enemy was eliminated early, and the attack couldn't happen.
"Sasuke is truly hateful. Naruto, rest assured; when the time comes, I'll definitely help Moonlight-sensei beat him up!"
Obito patted his chest and said.
After they crossed over, Moonlight would beat up Sasuke, and he could take the opportunity to kick him a few times, venting Naruto's anger.
"Who are Sasuke's subordinates now?"
Kakashi asked after some thought.
Uchiha Madara was powerful, but he didn't have the strength to overthrow the entire Ninja Alliance alone, which was why he had waited so long before taking action.
"I'm not sure, but there are many, maybe tens of thousands."
Naruto recalled and replied.
In that instant of perceiving the outside world, Naruto sensed an uncountable number of chakras.
"Could there really be so many ninjas choosing to follow Uchiha Madara?"
Kakashi frowned slightly, as tens of thousands of ninjas were not a small number.
"There shouldn't be any remaining forces of Uchiha Madara in the Ninja World now."
Kakashi couldn't help but think.
Tens of thousands of ninjas couldn't be trained in a short period.
"There shouldn't be. Among the chakras I sensed, many of them are identical."
Naruto shook his head and said.
He felt that even if Uchiha Madara had followers, they would be like Sasuke and Nagato, who were misled and went astray, a minority.
"Identical chakras."
Kakashi's expression turned pensive.
For ninjas, chakra was as unique as fingerprints, and it was impossible for them to be completely identical.
If they were identical, it could only mean one thing: they belonged to the same person.
"Could it be a breakthrough in cloning technology, creating a team of clone ninjas?"
Kakashi speculated.
"Impossible. It's more likely that other means were used to achieve a cloning effect."
Sasori refuted.
Creating clone humans and mass-producing clone ninjas capable of combat were two different concepts, and the latter required an incredibly high level of technology.
Sasori would rather believe that Uchiha Madara had mastered some powerful taboo secret technique.
This was more in line with Uchiha Madara's identity.
"I'm almost done. Everyone, get ready to eat."
Kushina, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and smiled gently.
"Mom, I know. I'll go find the Sage."
Naruto stood up and said, gathering natural energy.
"Go wash your hands. Wave Water Gate will go find him."
Kushina wanted Naruto to rest a bit more.
"It's fine. I can find him in an instant with Sage Mode."
Naruto said, entering Sage Mode and immediately sensing Jiraiya and Orochimaru's locations before rushing out.
Naruto also informed Kakuzu.
"That's great."
Naruto ravenously ate, occasionally glancing at Wave Water Gate and Kushina sitting on either side of him, his sense of happiness soaring.
"Does it taste good?"
Kushina noticed Naruto's gaze and smiled, putting down her bowl and chopsticks to ask.
"Mmm, delicious!"
Naruto's voice was a bit muffled as he chewed continuously.
"If it's tasty, eat more. Don't rush, take your time."
Kushina gently stroked Naruto's back, seeing that he was eating too quickly.
While in the kitchen, Kushina had learned about the parallel world.
Upon learning that returning in a short time might only take an instant, both Kushina and Wave Water Gate wanted to join the aid force. However, they were refused by Lord Moonlight.
The reason was that the number of people had already been filled, and adding more might lead to unforeseen circumstances.
Lord Moonlight wasn't entirely bluffing. Sharabi's ability to bring people across dimensions also depended on their chakra. The stronger one's chakra, the more power Sharabi needed to consume.
Bringing Kushina along would be very exhausting for Sharabi.
Additionally, Lord Moonlight felt that Kushina and Wave Water Gate's presence might be awkward.
Because in the world of Uzumaki Naruto, Wave Water Gate would be summoned through Impure World Reincarnation.
If Lord Moonlight also brought Kushina and Wave Water Gate over, there would be two Wave Water Gates.
After the meal, Lord Moonlight gathered everyone together. He had Sara control the Dragon Vein's power, and then Sharabi borrowed the Dragon Vein's power to unleash the space-time force, locking onto the coordinates on Naruto to determine the destination.
"See you later."
Naruto waved to Wave Water Gate and Kushina.
"Come back to visit when you have time."
Kushina waved goodbye.
"Since we're borrowing the power of the Dragon Vein, there might be minor time fluctuations, but there's no need to panic. Just be cautious."
Lord Moonlight gave his final reminder.
With Sharabi's presence, there wouldn't be massive errors like the one with Centipede. However, minor fluctuations of a day or two might still occur.
But this wasn't a significant issue. Lord Moonlight had given everyone a life-saving restorative secret medicine.
If anyone were to encounter misfortune, Lord Moonlight and Sharabi could cross over again to provide assistance.
Everyone nodded, and before leaving the inn, Lord Moonlight had already mentioned this once.
Finally, in a flash of light, Lord Moonlight and his group disappeared from Kushina and Wave Water Gate's sight.
"Good child, thank you... Huh?"
In a certain place in Loulan, someone expressed gratitude to a person, only to discover that the other had suddenly vanished without a trace.
